Letter to Myself

This letter was pretty cool when I wrote it... Now it seems kind of cheesy to me.

Reality

A Letter to Myself

From: current 17-year-old me

To: 14-year-old me

Why can't you see

Reality?

Your soul is breaking

Your skin is aching

Or should I say-

You're aching inside your skin...

Why can't you see

Reality?

Your silent crying?

Your soul is dying

You're growing masculine and hairy

Isn't it scary?

Stop hiding your pain

-from yourself

-from others

You need to find yourself

You're trapped in a young man's body

Girl, you need to see

Reality

That is what I call "a moment of the soul." Those are quite beautiful to me. Purity, self confession, what is not to like?

Anyone can call me corny, but I like it! Quite a bit actually.

No whine, no cheese, just your soul speaking out to me. I really like it. Maybe it should be moved into Poetry Forum next week too, so it doesn't get quickly lost in the sauce. These words will help someone, old or new, here someday. Thanks for sharing. Hug. JodyAnn

You are very welcome. :) And yes, that would be excellent to move it into a Poetry Forum. I looked for a while, but couldn't find one - so I just put it in general.

Since you guys had this idea of where it should be, look what I did, I did leave a link in the general forum for you.

One of these days I will get around to putting some of my stuff here too.

Love it! If it were not for the paradox effects I'd totally send something like that to the ten year old me and my mom, just as soon as I have access to a time machine.

We can only dream, Melissa

I'd chance the paradox

      Welcome aboard, Violet. What a pretty name!   You are among friends here. We are all on a journey, with things in common despite our individual uniqueness. I hope that makes sense!

      I was just notified by WPATH about this new resource. It is also World Voice Day!  Please see link: https://vocalcongruence.org

      Oh Yes!   This one is so obvious to anyone who has had a cat and observed any Big Cat.

      Welcome Violet.  It's been awhile since i found this space with so many who understand the struggle to simply be ourselves in a society that often disapproves,  It isn't an easy path but being together we can share all the bumps and the joys. You are not alone.   Hugs,   Charlize

      I'm sorry it didn't work out for the new job. Nothing to keep you from being on the search. I had a coworker who used to walk out of the locker room saying; "I was looking for a job with I found this one and I'll keep searching for the next one. Never let them think you're comfortable and settled."   The coffee has just finished brewing, and we have a HVAC technician coming in about 30 minutes to do an annual system check.   It's time to get out of my Pj's.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      @Sally Stone, I have enjoyed reading this thread immensely. There certainly are some things in it that I can relate to, particularly when you wrote that "I wasn’t a man trapped in a woman’s body." This simple statement confirmed two things for me; I am not an imposter here, and I could end up much further along the path than what I imagine now.   I very much look forward to your future posts here.   I hope that by posing this question I'm not committing you to spoil future posts, but can I ask, why you have settled on Bigender as a label? I keep changing my label and have no idea what it might be tomorrow or next week or next month!

      This whole Cass Review thing is breaking my heart. I keep imagining how it must be to be a trans kid in the UK atm. I am halfway through reading the review so that I can effectively refute it if and when people cite it here in Australia.

      One thing I took on board from a former boss who was an absolute gentleman and fluent conversationalist but a hopeless leader because he was the classic yes man to his superiors, was to take the emotion out of the equation when arguing. Don't use hyperbole. Don't exaggerate. Stick to what you know and defeat your adversary with logic. Of course, your adversary will double down and make an even bigger fool of themselves, and not even realize that they have lost the argument, nor will they realize that people are laughing at them and not with them. It also helps if you can separate them from their minions.   A conservative elderly uncle, who left school at the age of 12, swears black and blue that taking Ivermectin (sheep dip) prevents Covid because he knew someone who knew someone else who took it and despite that person being momentarily in close contact with people who had Covid, didn't come down with it. "Well, you're the one with the science degree!" I said.   A lot of people argue out of ignorance. They base their points on populism and rumor. I rarely argue, but when I do, it is in an attempt to push back. Another favorite saying that I use is "Rumors are started by haters, spread by fools and believed by idiots." I then ask, "Which two are you?" 😉

      Good morning, all!!! Cloudy today with some light rain coming. Not a day to work outside.   I will vacuum the house and the head out to our local hardware store after I get cleaned up. Time to buy a new bird feeder for the back porch.   I'm sorry the job didn't work @KymmieL! Hang in there.   It sounds like a busy time for you at work @Willow. Finding reliable people is so hard these days.   Time for another cup of coffee before I start cleaning!!   Enjoy this beautiful day we've been given.
